Answer 1

That's not the best way. You should use onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() and getLastNonConfigurationInstance() to retain the state between config changes. Those methods are specifically for saving state during config changes.

public Object onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() {
    return mTabHost.getCurrentTab();
}

public void onCreate() {
   ...
   Integer lastTab = (Integer) getLastNonConfigurationInstance();
   if(lastTab != null) {
      mTabHost.setCurrentTab(lastTab);
   }
   ...
}
